Question - Miles Related

I haven't been chiming in but it could say:

- Miles is a terrible coach

- They could not agree on salary

- They could not agree on who made decisions and when vis a vi assistants

- They could not agree on length of contract

- They could not agree on buy out

- They could not agree on various items triggered by sanctions

- They could not agree on indemnification language

- They could not agree on about 100 other things that go into a coaches contract

But your right, the only thing it says has to do with verifying your opinion that Miles is a terrible coach.

Sec rant

Miles is 64ish. He just got fired from an SEC school because he refused to adapt to college football. Ole Miss played him every single year so they know exactly how goofy he is. The age alone rules him out in my opinion (see Mack Brown and Phil Fulmer). The allegations makes me believe Miles has no interest at all. So it really doesn't say anything about either.

The only people that believe Miles was a good head coach are all the Mile’s homers, and there are a ton of them over here on the rant. Just look at all those Coach O haters, i.e., the new negatigers. Everyone outside of LSU wouldn’t touch him with a 10-foot pole, even though he has one of the greatest head coaching records ever in the history of college football. Indeed, Miles should be like Chip Kelly, mentioned for every job that opens up, but he’s not. Instead, he is like the plague. That’s because everybody knows, outside those Mile’s homers, that Miles didn’t really earn his outstanding coaching record. If they thought he did, he would have had a new coaching job five minutes after he was fired.

Can anyone imagine what would happen if Nick Saban put himself on the market? There would be an immediate bidding war. Yet, again, no one will touch Miles with a 10-foot fire.

By the way, the Ole Miss’s Athletic Department may have made more than its fair share of stupid decisions over the years, but nonetheless, I don’t believe for one second that they are stupid enough to hire Miles. Everybody can say what they want, but Miles isn’t getting that job.

If I was Ole Miss, I'd promote that interim head coach to head coach after the season until at least after the NCAA sanctions are over with. Because if they hire someone new and then dump him when the sanctions are over because of his record, then no one is going to want to work for that Athletic Department again. They already have a horrible track record.

Indeed, they dumped Ed Orgeron in the third year of his four year contract to rebuild the program, and then Houston Nutt came in and won with Coach O's players for three years until they graduated.

I haven't heard that OM is trying to hire a new coach just now, but Miles' lawyers are likely advising him to show interest and interview if they want, reserving his right to decline any offers that may come.
Miles' contract with LSU requires him to go thru the motions, not to commit professional suicide by going to OM...

This is what makes CLM more appealing to every university...he can be signed at a huge discount since he is guaranteed $ from LSU. No team will pay anywhere close to his LSU contract.
